Comment: 4.8-inch screen is fantastic for video. Speedy, powerful. Not ideal for people with smaller hands; battery life not great. Has program similar to Apple's Siri.

Nokia 920

Pro: Great camera

Con: Only on AT&T

Best for: The business-minded

Retail price: $99.99 and up

Comment: Runs Windows Phone 8, which means many fewer available apps. Solid-feeling and a bit heavy, with 4.5-inch screen. Offers wireless charging; takes great snapshots. A good choice for people who manage Office files across their devices.
